    The TWolves are like the biggest overall team since oh that's right the Bubble Lakers. The last team that handled a Denver team with both Jokic and Murray available.

    What's hilarious is I actually think the Lakers would have had a good shot against this Wolves team: Lebron just overpowers guys like Anderson and McDaniels. Those guys are perfect for Murray and MPJ but Lebron/Rui give them trouble

    Denver isn't special at all, if Murray and Jokic, aren't both dominant. Murray shredded Minnesota last season in the playoffs .

    Those "Wolves in 4" chants at the end. Wild lol guess Denver fans don't care that much eh?

    Nuggets are running out of gas with Murray being hurt and Jokic looks lazy/tired on defense. They lost too much depth by losing Bruce Brown and Jeff Green. Reggie Jackson is useless and washed lol.

    People are saying that Murray could get suspended for the heat pack throw?

    No way- we have been destroyed by this T- Wolves squad.
    Antman would have averaged 45 against our terrible defense and Wolves have THREE legit big men to bother AD.

    Yeah, we went 1-3 vs. the Wolves this year and I think LBJ/AD would've gassed out this round. Our Boogeyman Naz Reid would've looked like Michael Porter Jr.

    We sure helped out the Wolves a lot by taking D'angelo, and letting them have McDaniels, Alexander-Walker.

    Denver beat teams with 42 , 45 , 43 and 44 wins last season to win a championship .

    Probably the weakest of all time when it comes to combined opponents win %

    Just saying ...

    minny's strength is in their wing defenders. tall, lanky guys like anderson, alexander-walker, and mcdaniels are giving denver tons of trouble. something this team sorely lacks

    He's going to have a very expensive day today.

    Remember Gobert got hit with $100k fine for the money sign to the ref earlier this year.

    Update: he threw TWO things on the court

    i've never been a murray fan--not just because he murders us. he's whiny and has an inflated sense of his ability and relative stature. without jokic (and several guys covering for you on defense), you're meh.

    quit whining. hell, on some of those plays, you could have easily been whistled for an offensive foul. i'm sorry your defenders are bigger and faster than you in this round. whine to god, not the refs.

    just kidding. we made that pick for someone else. still, though...

    but no, we didn't have a chance at him.

    we maybe could have pulled off the westbrook deal with just utah and taken conley and alexander-walker, but that's a LOT of hindsight bias in action. when i suggested we trade westbrook for conley, the forum did not like it. on paper, dlo/beasley/vando was a much better haul. just didn't work out that way for some possibly foreseeable reasons (dlo being a playoff underperformer) and some less foreseeable reasons (vando missing an entire year, beasley forgetting how to shoot, conley becoming an iron man in his mid-30s).
